Normally I would only check cmc cmp and e2, but checking testosterone is cheap so I throw that in while I'm at it
GH is right, you don't particularly need it during a cycle (once again, unless you want to check the gear or don't feel right), but it can't hurt if you want to check it and be safe. Every 3-4 months is about as often as I can afford, feel like getting stabbed w a needle, and driving there to get it done. But I advocate keeping an eye on health markers and getting it done as often as you can put up w those factors yourself.
